(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Omona 2013! Compiled Poll Results & info

The last week and a half has been explosive @ Omona. You all have done a great job of making posts and encouraging others. Lets keep the trend going! This post is a helpful compilation of the things we learned from my original post.

& What did those poll results tell us? The following information comes from the small group of people (486) who took the time to fill out the poll. Thanks guys.

Most people who took the poll became a member of Omona in 2009 (30.9%) & most people learned about Omona in 2009 (46.5%)

How often do people who read Omona comment?

When it comes to people who do comment, (22.9%) comment rarely, (21.4%) comment periodically, (21.0%) comment every few days, and (5.8%) comment daily. So it was a very close race between people who comment but not all that often.

When it comes to the people who chose the never option, (17.9%) of the people chose the too shy or intimidated option. It was a close tie between being uninterested (5.2%) and not being able to comment because they weren't a member (5.8%).

How often do people submit posts to the community for approval?

Suprisingly (0.0%) submit daily (I swear it feels like some people post every day) while (3.2%) will submit a post a few times a week and (6.3%) will submit a post a few times a month. This was followed by people who don't submit posts because they don't know how (14.3%), people who post a few times a year (18.4%), people who are too shy to post (21.9%) and finally people who are uninterested in posting (35.9%)

How often do these people who took the poll visit?

Of the people who took the poll, (0.4%) said they visit rarely. (3.3%) of the people polled said they visit periodically. The highest percentage of votes came from the people who chose the often option (18.5%) and the daily option of (77.8%)

So it looks like the majority of people who use Omona keep coming back.

IT MUST BE ALL OUR CHARMS!

What about friendship?

When it comes to friendships within Omona (31.4%) said they had friends within the community, while (68.6%) said they did not. (43.3%) of the people polled felt it was not difficult to make friends, while (56.7%) did feel it was difficult to make friends within the community.

I think Omona wants to be friends with each other but is kinda scared. Aww :(

(63.4%) of the people polled have recommended Omona to a friend while only (36.6%) has not.

In conclusion:

People of Omona love posts, they just don't comment a lot. Mostly due to being shy or feeling they have nothing to add to what has already been said or expressed. There is also the possibility that a lot of people who view Omona read the community because they're just learning & feel more comfortable lurking. It can be difficult to jump into a conversation when you feel you aren't as knowledgeable as others.

For people that make posts...

We know you work hard to bring news to the community, but don't feel bad if your post doesn't get a ton of comments, because a lot of people are looking! And a lot of people do appreciate what you're doing. They just need a nudge, and one of the best ways to get people talking is to ask them an easy question they can answer. Ex: If a celebrity posts pictures of their dog, ask members to share pictures and stories of their own pets. Asking detailed questions that only members of that fandom would be able to answer will exclude a lot of people.

Our Google Analytics result for the month of December 2012:
